Before the riots inside and outside the Ximing Hall in Xiangguo City broke out, there was already a tragedy in the city.

In an inconspicuous street near Xiangshui in the interior of the city, there is a manor with a deep courtyard, which is guarded inside and outside, which shows that the people living in the manor are unusual.

The night was hazy, there were no bright lights in the manor, and there was no sound all around. As the night approached, the inner and outer guards began to lose their spirits, either leaning against the porch wall and pretending to sleep, or walking directly into one side room to fall asleep.

At this time, in the shadows of the streets, more than a dozen agile and agile night walkers were quietly approaching the manor.

A flying stone struck the lintel of the manor, and the sound was quite harsh in this quiet environment, which suddenly made several guards inside and outside the porch wake up, cheer up and look left and right for a moment, but did not find any unusual signs, and the mouth could not help but let out a vague curse, the tense heartstrings relaxed, and the whole person was much more relaxed than before.

Wail......

There was an unremarkable night crow chirping, and after ten breaths, several cheetah-like figures suddenly popped out of the night! The guard's vision has captured this abnormal scene when he is half asleep and half awake, and his heart is also alarmed, but the body's reaction is sluggish, and his mouth is half open and he is about to shout a warning, but those black shadows have rushed to the front, and the cold light in the afterglow of the vision suddenly flashed, and the sharp blades in the sleeves of these black shadows have either cut their throats or slashed their chests, and they all killed them with one blow, and the four guards outside the door were cleanly solved.

These people are skillful in their means, their movements are light, not only are they covered in darkness, but they are even wearing lifeless silk shoes under their feet. Dealt with a few guards outside the door, and the people inside the door were not even surprised.

Then in the remaining shadows, several figures were attached to the wall and quickly approached both sides of the doorway, and a person reached out and knocked lightly on the door, and the sound suddenly caused the door to be shocked to look at this probe, but there was a deadly sharp blade sticking out of the blind place of vision, and it was easy to harvest people's lives!

In a few breaths, seven or eight guards inside and outside the courtyard were all dealt with, and although there was no shortage of abnormal noises on the way, they were all controlled to a limited extent. Then these dozen people infiltrated into the manor and scattered, quickly searching and hunting for those slack guards in the process, and naturally there were some accidents in the process, which were detected by the guards in advance, but even so, these infiltrators were all skilled in fighting one by one, and they did not give the guards room to struggle and fight back, and ended the battle cleanly.

Soon the entire manor was silent, and the infiltrators each carried a corpse back to the vestibule, leaving the corpses in one place to be counted. Then one of the leaders put away his sword and hurried to the atrium.

In the atrium, there are lights flickering, and two people are sitting opposite each other, talking about chess. One of them was Qian Feng, and sitting opposite him was Cheng Yao's family of cronies who arranged to accompany him. Compared with Qian Feng's calmness, Cheng Yao's cronies looked a little anxious, frequently looking out of the doors and windows, and his mind was not on the chess game in front of him at all.

"Mr. Qian is worthy of being a wise man among the southerners, and he can still sit quietly when he is in such a big event."

After being reminded a lot, the Cheng family was also a little embarrassed, and said sorry to Qian Feng.

"I'm a clever person, but I don't have the power to fight, and I don't have the power to fight when I really do something, so I can only stay outside and wait for the destiny of heaven."

Qian Feng laughed when he heard this, but unfortunately his face was too terrifying, and people didn't dare to look at it if there was no covering.

"Mr. is too modest, the master of the family has a lot of reputation and cronies for Mr., and Mr. will be famous in China and enter the humerus in the future."

Hearing the man's compliment, Qian Feng smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid I'm not so lucky......

At this moment, there was a sudden loud impact sound outside the hall, and the Cheng family's face changed suddenly after hearing the sound, and they said to the two people standing in the court: "Hurry up and check what happened?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the man in black had already entered the hall, and the man was even more panicked when he saw this, and was about to turn around to beckon Qian Feng to avoid it, but saw that Qian Feng had already stood up and smashed his head down with a chessboard in his hand. The shock was sudden, and the person had no room to react, and the top of his head roared and then suffered from severe pain, and then he collapsed unconscious.

smashed the person in front of him with a chessboard, Qian Feng lowered his head to wipe off the buttermilk spilled on the hem of his clothes, and when he raised his head, the fight between the man in black and the other two was over, and the two corpses were scattered. Then the man in black stepped forward and said to Qian Feng: "Sir, there are twenty-six guards inside and outside, all of whom have been killed, and none of them have been missed." ”

"Very good, go and ask Master Yan to come here, and leave later."

After Qian Feng gave an order, he turned around and went indoors, and when he turned out again, he had already removed his wide robe and changed into a light night suit. And at this time, the white-haired Yan Mu was also held hostage by the two Longxi pawns, and he was awakened in his sleep with palpitations, and when he saw Qian Feng dressed like this, he said in panic: "Shiyi, what happened?" ”

"There will be a shocking change in the slave country, and I will leave as soon as possible."

Qian Feng handed the clothes and ornaments he had changed to the nearby Longxi pawn, and then these clothes and ornaments were hung on the corpse of a guard who was somewhat similar to Qian Feng. As for Yan Mu, he was still a little dazed at this time, and he could only be at the mercy of others, the white beard and white hair were all cut off by the sharp blade, and the original immortal wind bone posture no longer existed, and he was a strong man with a ruddy face.

The corpses of the guards were all gathered in the atrium hall, and the ointment and some flammable materials of cloth and silk found in the manor were also piled up here, and a burning candle was erected at each of the four corners to cover it with a veil. When the candle flame is exhausted, it will ignite the ointment and cloth in the court, which is a simple delay.

Then, more than a dozen people surrounded Qian Feng and Yan Mu hurriedly left here, taking advantage of the night to cover up and walk through the intricate streets and alleys in Xiangguo City.

Although a large number of guards in the city have gone to Mingtang to guard and defend, the basic city defense is still maintained, so Qian Feng and the others did not flee directly across the city, but first went to the foothold prepared in the city for a while.

It was only at this time that Qian Feng quickly explained to Yan Mu why he had to flee at night urgently.

Cheng Yao will launch this night, if he fails, he will naturally be in a different place, and Qian Feng and Yan Mu have been in a secret relationship with him recently, and they can't hide it from others, so they will have nothing to hide if they are cleared up a little. Qian Feng naturally couldn't take such a big risk to live and die with Cheng Yao.

And even if this person succeeds, Qian Feng will never believe his. Cheng Yaoqi has also been in the slave country for decades, and it is impossible for him to really lead Qian Feng as a confidant to obey the plan. Previously, he may have relied on Qian Feng's complicity, but when it was really launched, he still did not let Qian Feng directly participate in it and inform more secrets, but chose a place to settle it with Yan Mu, saying that it was protection, but in fact it was still imprisoned, and he was still not fully believed.

Even if everything goes well this night, Cheng Yao can successfully control the inside and outside, and has a large number of his own party to share the victory. Qian Feng only has a slight conspiracy or two, even if Cheng Yao is willing to believe him, it is impossible to disregard the feelings of the public and do everything to the end.

Even if Qian Feng still wants to stay by Cheng Yao's side, he will have to face intrigue with these people. What's more, the only thing that Qian Feng can value Cheng Yao is the ability of conspiracy, but if it is successful, it is by no means a conspiracy to stabilize the situation of the slave country afterwards, it is still necessary to have a grand way to support it, and the role that Qian Feng can play is very small.

For Qian Feng, the important thing is not whether Cheng Yao can succeed in the end, but whether he can kill Shi Le. He insisted on joining this matter, he really wanted to help Cheng Yao make a plan to kill Shi Le, as for how Shi Le would control the situation after his death, he would stay with Cheng Yao to suffer the pain of cooking and boiling in the boiling soup of the slave country with his head cramps! This night, due to lack of manpower, Cheng Yao did not send too many people to watch Qian Feng, which was a good opportunity for him to get out. If you stay any longer, you will either be completely controlled by others, or Cheng Yao will be defeated and suffered.

Although Yan Mu had a slight guess before, he didn't know Cheng Yao's specific plan to kill the king, and at this time, I heard Qian Feng say that Cheng Yao asked him for the mysterious scatter before it was actually to poison Zhao Zhushi Le, and his mood was also ups and downs for a while, complicated to the extreme, and he didn't know whether to be proud or sigh for himself. He doesn't have any ambition in his life, he just relies on some mysterious means to fight in the north and south to get enough food and clothing, but he lives to make people, whether in the south or in the north, he has to be involved in this kind of rebellion, is he born a traitor?

Qian Feng was not in the mood to pay attention to Yan Mu's feelings, but sat alone with his eyes closed to recuperate, but his mind was turning rapidly. He knew that after this night, whether Cheng Yao succeeded or not, the slave country would be in chaos, which was undoubtedly an excellent good news for Huainan's horses, so the top priority at the moment was to send the news back to Huainan as soon as possible.

However, Qian Feng also has no shortage of expectations and wait-and-see for whether Cheng Yao can succeed and how the situation in the slave country will evolve next, which is also to give himself an explanation. He traveled between the north and the south, and every time he sought great things, if Cheng Yao succeeded, it would also be a comfort for him.

The group did not stay here for a long time, the west of Xiangguo City was already a fire rising into the sky, the sound of the riot was clearly heard even in the city, the sound of a large number of soldiers had appeared on the street, and at the same time, many people were awakened in their sleep, and ran on the street to inquire, trying to find out what was going on.

Once a riot occurs, it spreads rapidly. So Qian Feng and the others stopped staying, and rushed straight out of the city while the turmoil, grabbed two carriages along the way, and soon rushed to the outskirts of the city.

Previously, hundreds of thousands of households gathered inside and outside Xiang, even in the suburbs of the city, were crowded and inhabited, but with several large-scale requisitions, as well as Zhao Zhushile's efforts to persuade farmers to return to the fields, this kind of situation has improved, at least the suburbs are no longer a messy scene of shacks and shacks, wandering and eating and gathering.

Qian Feng and the others ran in the suburbs for a while, and there were many panicked households on the way, but they didn't dare to approach them when they saw that there was no shortage of strongmen in their group. When it was almost dawn, the group went around to the vicinity of the Ming Hall in the west of the city.

At this time, there was a mess outside the Ming Hall, and the riots had not stopped, and the surrounding Ming Hall was littered with broken tents, charred marks, damaged cars, and messy corpses.

Although there are also forbidden troops here to maintain order and protect the relatives of the powerful families, but the change happened too suddenly, especially the more important Mingtang riots broke out, and the guards had no intention of maintaining order here at all, and in order to rush into the Mingtang as soon as possible, even the guards joined in the rush, which undoubtedly aggravated the extent of the riots.

Therefore, outside the Ming Hall at this moment, there are already many dispersions, wailing all over the wilderness, and the powerful concubines and ladies who were originally honored to raise the deep pavilion are all messy and unclothed, and they are mixed with many cold people. And the Praetorian guards who joined in later were not polite to these people, and the strength of the armored soldiers was rampant among the chaotic people, and there was no lack of bad deeds of plundering and mutilation.

Qian Feng and the others didn't dare to get too close, so they stayed in the dense mountains and forests where they could see Mingtang from afar, and separated a few people to sneak in to inquire about the latest situation.

The commotion outside the Ming Hall continued until noon, when it gradually calmed down. The gate of the palace, which had been closed, finally opened slowly, and the first to appear at the gate of the palace were the scholars and servants Guo Yin, the Guanglu doctor Cheng Yao, the Wei general Lu Ming and the commander Liu Zheng and other important ministers. These people did not completely go out of the Ming Hall, but stood in front of the palace gate and sent someone to order the generals of the Praetorian Guards outside to enter the Ming Hall to receive orders, so the Janissaries under the leadership of the commander of the Ming Hall expelled the scattered officials and their families outside the Ming Hall to some fixed areas, and cleared out the passages inside and outside the Ming Hall, and then some soldiers entered the Ming Hall.

Through these signs, Qian Feng could already judge that Cheng Yao should have preliminarily controlled the situation, in other words, Zhao Zhushile must have died. After confirming this, Qian Feng also felt emotional, the rabbit will bite when he is in a hurry, Shi Le overestimated his prestige, thinking that there would be no chaos if he was in charge of the country, and as a result, the strong ministers were all outside, and there were few ministers in the capital of Xiangguo who could take charge alone, giving Cheng Yao, the rabbit, a chance to suddenly attack and master the ban.

However, even if Cheng Yao controlled the forbidden center, Qian Feng was still not optimistic about the future of his people, and the strong army of the slave country was sent out, which made the center empty and extremely weak, which gave Cheng Yao the opportunity to make trouble. However, his people have lived up to expectations, even if they include the heir Shi Daya, they can't deter the internal and external feelings at all, at most maintain a situation of internal and external confrontation, this is still in the case of being able to successfully solve Shi Kan and thus control the Yecheng forbidden army, otherwise as long as any strong minister returns to the country, Cheng Yao may not be able to die well!

After confirming Shi Le's death, Qian Feng did not stay any longer, and the group gathered to leave Xiangguo, where he had stayed for more than a year. On the way, when he first arrived here, he took in and recruited his hometown Feng family, added some supplies, and warned the Feng family that there would be great chaos in the slave country, and advised them to leave their hometown to avoid trouble. However, with the help of Qian Feng, the situation of this township clan has improved greatly, and they disagreed with Qian Feng's warning, but his lady who played on the scene was determined to follow and leave his hometown.

On the second day of Qian Feng's return to the south, news of the chaos in the slave country came later. Cheng Yao's good luck did not last until the end, and Shi Kan learned the news of Shi Le's death prematurely, and as a result, Shi Kan did his best to garrison Yecheng and counterattacked Xiangguo.

After learning the news, Qian Feng did not stay and waited for the final result of this battle.

In the future, whether Cheng Yao or Shi Kan controls Xiangguo, they will inevitably not be able to obtain the approval of the powerful ministers abroad, Shi Le's death, the collapse of the slave country is a foregone conclusion, and several forces can be counted, in addition to Cheng Yao and Shi Kan who are fighting in Xiangguo, there are Shi Hu who is leading troops to the south, Shi Sheng who is fighting in Han, and Kui'an and other people who have just been sent by Shi Le. Whoever one of these people can win in the end will have to go through a bitter battle.

Moreover, in the process of the internal strife, there may be new forces emerging to join it, and the exploits that Shi Le has achieved by struggling for half his life will die with him and never survive again! The entire Central Plains may once again return to the situation of being divided and rising together!

The chaos has its own great progress, and Qian Feng is already like an arrow, not only to inform the latest developments in the country as soon as possible, but also to see how far this southern leader can lead the southerners in the new round of chaos!
